"It's what we call 'Over the top-hyper imaginative-boredom' syndrome," Rachel told Alex, "It's quite new in the market."
"Is that so? Imaginative- boredom syndrome. New in the market," Alex seriously nodded to everything Rachel said before he was struck by a realization. He looked at Rachel with confusion.
When Rachel saw Alex looking at her, she could not stop herself from bursting into laughter. Alex didn't need to be Einstein to figure out that Rachel was messing around with him. Rachel left her chair and walked in front of Alex. Dressed in a red one-piece dress barely up to her knees and black high-heeled shoes, Rachel sat on the desk, crossing her legs. Her white, fair, smooth legs were slightly rubbing with his. If not for the white coat above her dress, anyone who saw her would believe it was party time.
Alex gulped, looking at those smooth legs and with great determinati
Chapter - 48When Alex walked out of the hospital, it was still far from getting dark outside. He was in no hurry to get back home when none of his parents would be there just to bicker with Mrs Flores. Instead, he made his way to the supermarket near their home. He called Mrs Flores and got a list of things she needed him to buy.Alex was done with his shopping pretty fast. Dumping all he needed in the cart, he made his way to the billing counter and stood in the queue waiting for his turn."Alex!" It was not long before he heard a familiar voice. It was Margaret. This was the third time they had met coincidentally, and Margaret had called out for him.Twenty percent surprised and eighty percent faking it, Alex looked behind, "Miss Cole? What are you doing here?" He asked.Hearing him address her as 'Miss Cole,' Margaret was annoyed. With a stern look on her face, her hands on h
Chapter - 49Alex's was relieved to hear that. He was excited to have Margaret ride the motorcycle with him, but more than that, now it won't be a hassle for him to carry the groceries back home. Alex handed his grocery bag to Margaret and went to get his motorcycle.While Alex was gone, Margaret hurriedly called her driver, who was waiting at a distance, confused as to why his madam would ask him to stop."Don't come here. Just follow me back home," Margaret told the driver and hurriedly ended the call when Alex stopped his motorcycle in front of her."C'mon, hop on," Alex said.Margaret was not shy about it like Karen. She sat behind Alex without a word, and the two of them drove off while the car followed behind, maintaining some distance between them.The ride was smooth, well, most of the ride, unless, 'unintentionally', Alex had to apply breaks all of a sudden. And since Margaret was not holding on t
Chapter - 50 Alex was standing in front of Margaret's door in less than ten minutes since they parted ways. He could have been here earlier, but he didn't want to look desperate. So after his rushed makeover, he waited for some time at his house before coming over. He rang the bell and waited for Margaret to open the door. His heart was beating like crazy, and this is the case, not just with Margaret. But nowadays, in the company of any beautiful lady, he would feel like this. But right now, maybe because it was his first time, that his heart was ready to burst out. Well, not that first time. He has already done it with Susan. It was his first time to be with Margaret in her house, 'Home Alone.' Inside, When Margaret heard the bell, her heart skipped a beat. She stood up and walked to the door. Nervous, she looked outside through the peephole and found Alex pacing to and fro in front of the door nervously, 'So I am not the only one losing it,' she thought. With that, Margaret brus
Chapter - 51"Mrs Rutherford?" Margaret was in a cold sweat as soon as she heard the voice. She took the phone off her ear and nervously looked at the caller ID. On the screen, in big letters, it showed 'Mom,' with a heart sign."Margaret? Why is Alex's phone with you? Where is he?" Martha inquired from the other end of the call. Her motherly instincts kicked in, and her imagination began to run wild."He is here, at my house". Margaret replied meekly, cursing her fate. There could not be anyone worse on the other side of the phone."What is he doing there? And with what thing is he so busy that he cannot even answer his mother's call?" Martha asked suspiciously. Every mother is on the edge when it comes to their innocent sons. They are wary of every vixen trying to seduce their cub and take them away from the den."Umm... About that... Mrs Rutherford, you see... I picked up his
Chapter - 52"Mom!" Alex called out for Martha the moment he entered the house."Why are you here, causing a ruckus?" Martha asked as she walked out of her room."What?" surprised by her words, Alex asked."I meant, why are you home so early?" Martha changed her tone when she realised what she had blurted out."Oh... You remember that presentation I was working on yesterday?" Alex asked to which Martha nodded, "It went pretty well. Karen was kinda happy with me. So she said I could take a half-day off. Isn't she just the nicest boss?" Alex was more excited to brag about Karen than his own presentation."That's good. I am sure you will do even better in the future," Martha said as she ruffled his hair."Mom, I need to go out today," Remembering the dinner plan, he suddenly said, "So I won't be having dinner with the two of you."&nb
Chapter - 53Alex reached the restaurant at about ten minutes to eight. He was also the first one to arrive there. He soon parked his bike in the parking, and in no time, he was standing in front of the establishment that read 'Springville' in glittering lights. He looked around in search of the ladies but could not find anyone from the PR department. Thinking that they might have already gone inside, he pulled out his phone and called Jennifer, the only safe option, to know where they were."Alex, have you reached there?" Jennifer asked as soon as she picked up the phone."Yeah. Why didn't you guys wait for me before going in? Where should I come?" Alex asked."Sorry, Alex, but we are still not there. We will be there in at most five minutes," Jennifer said apologetically."Is that so? Well, that's good then. Okay, I am waiting for you guys outside the
Chapter - 54 "Are you all coming or not?" Karen looked back as she reached the entrance of the restaurant. Hearing her, all of them came to their senses from the shock and hurriedly followed her inside. Springville was a restaurant as well as a club. Just as they walked through the gate, there were stairs going down to the club while the other stairs that led to the upper floors were for dining. Alex saw men and women dressed in accessories worth thousands of dollars climb up the stairs as they stumbled upon each other. It was a good thing that there were bouncers not allowing those coming out of the club to use the main entrance, otherwise, it would have been a mess in there. Alex followed the ladies as they walked through the corridor leading to the stairs going upstairs. The dining area also had two floors. The first floor was suitable to dine when you are in a small group, with your family or friends. While the second floor was much more fitting for department dinners when you a
Chapter - 55"Bring out the other cards," Karen said, sipping on her drink.Ellaine and the others knew that today was the day they couldn't crack an egg in front of Karen, let alone a joke.Ellaine picked up the two stacks of cards and put them back in her bag. She then put forward the other set of cards which read, 'Let’s get hanky-panky, Adults.'Without waiting for Karen to nitpick again, Ellaine hurriedly gave the bottle another spin. The bottle continued to go in rounds for a while before slowly coming to a halt in front of Ellaine herself.Somehow, Ellaine was rather relieved with the outcome. She gave a quick look at Karen before picking up the dare card, "Let the invincible Ellaine show you how it's done." Ellaine said."Give a peck on the cheeks to someone of the opposite sex in the group," Ellaine gave a good look to her car
